LOOKING UP.
Dun,s Weekly Review Reports the
market Generally Better

r. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly re.
view of trade says: Commerce and in
dustry have improved, while speculation
has slackened. A very different result
was expected, when it was announced a
week ago that syndicate had under
taken to raise so, 600, 900 for the Balti-
more & Ohio and to establish harmony
between trunk lines. AT first stocks
rose quickly, an average of 81 per share;
but soon it was seen that the borrowing
OF millions by great company did not
necessarily mean or bring prosperity.
Heavy declines in Baltimore & Ohio and
other stocks, affected the Ives failure,
followed, and a gradual reaction toward
lower prices and speculative inactivity
has continued this week. On the other
hand, evidence appears of decided i'm
provement in legitimate business, with
larger sales, larger production and a
more wholesome feeling, even in branch
es lately most depressed. The improve
ment in the wooden goods trade is clearly
marked, though that trade cannot yet be
called active Lower prices for wool en-
courage manufacturers and the demand
for goods is broadening
The mills in which iron is worked into
forms for use are generally pressed with
orders Bar iron has a good demand.
The orders for plate and tank iron press
works to their full capacity. Makers of
iron are crowded and the main business
is slightly better. In steel rails though,
even the Thomas company sells at s36
for winter delivery, and the yield in
prices disheartens some makers. There
is a general disposition to shut out for
eign products and facilities for producing
at lower cost are steadily increasing.
Wheat speculation seems to have gone
into bankruptcy, stagnation ruling in
spite of the reduction of Liverpool rates
to 13.Sd. The price has lifted only an
eighth the past week, while corn and
oats have risen seven-eights, pork % cts
per barrel and lard 10 cents per 100
pounds. Oil has advanced cents, pro-
ducers having succeeded well in limiting
the supply. Sugar shows tendency to
boom, having risen oneeighth of cent
per hundred pounds, while coffee is an
eighth lower, high rates for money af
Testing Brazilian holders. Supplies of
butter are very liberal, and prices for
grades under extra are irregular. Evil
dence of general improvement comes
from nearly all cities. Remarkably
heavy distribution of hardware and farm
ers' supplies at Chicago and st. Louis
with activity of banks, not from specula-
tive demands, and reports of increase on
shipments by railroads from this city,
promise satisfactory returns of all trade
Money is generally active at interior
points, and collections fair. Large sup
plies of money from Europe, already re-
ceived and on the way, clear off heavy
loans which have tied up home capital,
and promise much relief. Failures at |
New Haven and Philadelphia have in
volved some minor houses but do not in
1icate especial weakness in any special |
branch of trade. For the present, indi-
cations favor large and profitable fall
business unless stringency should inter
'upt.

1t has been rumored that many of the
farmers were in doubt as to whether il
would be advisable to SOW wheat in west
ern Kansas this fall. If any such doubts
ever existed they have been set aside, for
news comes to us that car loads of seed
wheat and rye are constantly arriving at
the various shipping points, and that the
farmers are buying the seed in large
quantities. i There is every prospect that
the acreage sown this fall will largely
exceed any ever sown before, and with a
favorable season.the crops gathered next
fall will repair all losses and set every in
dustrious farmer on his feet.-Topeka

1t is doubtless the case that many peo-
pie in the east are expecting the boom
ing growth of western Kansas to come to
sudden stop this year, but they NAV
safely postpone all predictions of that
kind to some date further ahead. Our
boom will continue right along notwith-
standing the cries about dry weather and
the croakings of tenderfeet who may go
back to 'wifc's people" Our country
has not suffered to the extent the Middle
states have from the dry weather, and
our people have reason to take courage
and stay with their lands. There is no
better place to 60 Tex.
